    A local community in Buffalo, New York has launched a toy gun exchange program, reminiscent of gun buyback programs run by governments, because the group’s leaders believe that if kids have toy guns, they might get their hands on a real gun.

    Leonard Lane, president of the Buffalo F.A.T.H.E.R.S organization, believes that a cap gun sounds like a real gun and explained that toy guns present a serious danger to children — while he held a toy gun filled with candy, WIVB reported on Friday.

    “Whatever you put in a child’s hands that’s what he feels comfortable with and you put a toy gun in his hands at an early age and when he gets older he’s going to want the real thing,” Lane said.

    Lane and his organization are urging parents to turn in their kid’s toy guns this Christmas and exchange it for a different toy for what is described as the “annual Toy Gun Exchange.” Lane said the goal is to make children feel uncomfortable around toy guns so they’ll never want to be around real guns.

    “I understand how a mother may feel wanting to get something her child would like, but what we don’t want to do is make a child feel comfortable with a toy gun,” said Lane.

    These idiots think that a toy gun will turn your kids into criminals when they get older.
    They don't understand that it is what is in your heart, not whats in your hand, that determines if you will become a criminal or not.

    Perhaps he is a Felon or other prohibited person.
    Someone that had a childhood incident etc...

    "A local community in Buffalo, New York has launched a toy gun exchange program,...."

    Never mind.....
    Now it makes sense.....
    "Rolls eyes" sigh ......... Another Liberal bastion......

    Nothing new, it is trotted out often enough by Liberals, lil kids turning in grubby worn out junk toy guns, for new stuff..

    Considering the revelations of late probably need to refrain from that...might influence more Weinsteins when they grow up.

    Yes,
    Or make kids promise not to point a finger and simulate a gun ?

    They suspended children in the past for like "offensive finger use" not a middle finger as one might suppose, just simulation of a gun and yelling pow !

    Libs, they want to make sure their kids know nothing about guns to insure a fatal accident will happen when their kids get their hands on one.

    Abstinence as an educational platform. The left taught us the fallacy of this for sex and drugs, but now want to institute it with guns.

    Wow @ the cogdis...

    Its a mere reference to a toy exchange. You might want to review your understanding of cognitive dissonance. Festinger didn't innovate so folk could just post bobbins.

    It's a mere reference to a toy GUN exchange in an effort to keep kids from having the desire to legally own guns as they get older, just as the article clearly states.

    I suppose then tou would like to show me the gun safety curriculum in public schools?

    Dont bother, there isn't one, because of OP-like thinking that 'exposure to firearms creates criminals.'

    This is a fundamental principle of Western Philosophy and it is true for everything in this world and on this Earth.

    What is truly needed is a violent video game turn-in.

    This is what influenced Adam Lanza to shoot up Sandy Hook Elementary.

    Tamir Rice never got a chance to choose because some pussyassed cop murdered him for playing with a toy gun. Turns out cops don't need to find out what's in a balck kids heart, they're too terrified of even black children so they get to murder them with impunity.

    Hardly, that's why the power structure has invested so heavily in the miseducation of its subjects in america.

    Odd the way you have worded your phrase.

    Miseducation (which I call brainwashing) is indeed widespread. However Education is still a fundamental principle of Western Philosophy.

    Western Philosophy is predicated upon miseducation/brainwashing where ever it has gone; right behind the plunder.
